Finnegan client FedEx secures dismissal of suit involving WebXchange (and Pi-Net) patent portfolio

WebXchange, Inc. filed suit against FedEx alleging infringement of three patents that WebXchange claimed to generally relate to enabling all transactions over the Internet. The named inventor is Dr. Lakshmi Arunachalam and the asserted patents belong to a portfolio owned in part by WebXchange and in part by a related company named Pi-Net International. Reexamination requests were filed and granted against all of the asserted patents. After nearly four years of litigation, and WebXchange’s ten litigation and prosecution firms, Finnegan secured a dismissal with prejudice of the suit against FedEx, and without the need for claim construction, dispositive motions or a trial.
